Coaches Note 07-13-10

We are literally sprinting to the finish of our summer long course season.  Please make sure that you sign up for the Inland Empire Long Course Championships, held July 30-August 1 at Witter Pool here in Spokane.  This meet does require qualifying times, which can be found here.

Before we dive in, there is an important reminder: there is NO AFTERNOON PRACTICE at Whitworth on Thursday, July 15.  Originally, we thought we could have a shorter practice, but we have been asked by Whitworth to cancel practice due to a Whitworth-sponsored event at the Aquatic Center.  We apologize for the late notice and any inconvenience this may cause.  Thank you!

Here’s what else is happening:
